2015. Wow! We've had babies, we've started businesses, but building a house - as well as keeping the aforementioned babies and business happy and healthy - turned out to be quite a roller-coaster...
But now we're here, at home, and we've have had some much needed time out to reflect on the year that was.
And it was actually pretty wonderful! 37 amazing weddings, some fashion, some portraits - adventures the length of breadth of Ireland, exploring remote corners of France, shooting in Ibizan salt flats, keeping airbnb in the black ;)
But as much as we loved the travel, it was the people we worked with in 2015 that made it so great. You are a kind-hearted, creative lot - and you really know how to put on a good wedding! It's felt at times like an extended road-trip with friends. A crazy, mud tramping, light chasing, pint drinking photographic adventure...
A few accolades also came our way this year, which made us pause and be thankful. Being named as one of Rangefinder Magazine's 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography 2015 was a staggering highlight. And having a photo selected for Junebug's Best of the Best Wedding Photography 2015 provided another holy grail type moment. But really we can only take part of the credit. Our couples and the places we found did a lot of the heavy lifting here...
As always, our wedding industry friends have infused our year with their life-saving and fun-making powers. Photographer comrades, we don't tell you often enough how much we love you.
These are some of our favourite images from the year - a lot of weddings, some fashion and some personal stuff... It couldn't begin to be representative of our year. But these are the images we find ourselves drawn to...
